Dana R.’s interview
Interview more people without scheduling a single call.

Questions about AI Interviewer.
What is an AI interviewer?
An AI interviewer asks people questions and saves their answers for you, so you don’t have to schedule and run every interview yourself. In Story Engine, the AI interviewer is Ellie. She asks the questions your team approved, by video, phone, or typing, and saves each answer with the person’s signed consent.
How is this different from a survey or a form?
A form collects short typed answers with no story behind them. Ellie asks your questions one at a time, by video, phone, or typing, so people answer in their own words. Every storyteller signs a consent form first, and the whole interview is saved with that consent, ready to turn into content.
Does the storyteller need an app or an account?
No. They open the link in the invite and start. No app to download and no login.
How can people answer?
By video, by phone, or by typing. Pick one, or pick more than one and let each person choose when they open the link.
Who writes the questions?
Ellie writes them from your one-sentence answer. You can change, reorder, add, or regenerate any of them before you send the invite.
How does consent work?
Every storyteller signs a consent form before the first question and chooses what your team can use. They get a signed copy by email, and they can withdraw at any time.
How much does it cost?
Every team can start free with one interview and one piece. See the pricing on our homepage for plans.
